LA

I went straight from NY to LA for a flower event. It was crazy to pack for both february in NY and in LA. On the day I left NY I was quite the sight to behold lugging a huge bag and armloads of loot from the flower market around. I finally broke down and got a taxi to the airport. There is no way I would have survived the subway on my own with all of that junk. I had emily fly out and meet me in LA to help. We stayed at some nice girl's house and made a flower mess in their front room.

The sunny weather and bright colors of LA made an influence on the flowers. Its funny how much my environment influences how the flowers turn out. I like it though.

a crazy hanging flower fixture thing...in its beginning stages.
me picking the perfect bougainvillea to put into the mix.

emily looking about how i feel on every flower day. she got her first taste.

baby daffodils that i loved.

a garland i made, makes going to the bathroom look really fun.

The event was The Cream, its basically a well curated wedding show/party, and I was one of the vendors. The theme for this event was "neon" so all of the vendors had to make everything really bright. It was really fun, we danced so hard that I felt it for almost a week afterwards.

Leo's photos of the dinner

All of these photos are from Leo Patrone for kinfolk. From the dinner in Brooklyn.

The video below is from Andrew Gallo, it was so wonderful to finally meet the Gallo family in NY.

NY

I went to NY to help out with the kinfolk dinner at the end of February.

I didn't even bring my camera because pretty much everyone I spent the weekend with was a photographer. So here are a few blurry phone pics. We made a giiiiaaant garland to hang above the dinner table, it was crazy. The dinner was really delicious, it was fun to finally meet a lot of people I recognized from their internet fame.

David stayed home unfortunately. But I had fun staying in an apartment with a bunch of kinfolk folks who went out for the dinner.

This is us at our favorite camping spot.

Leo snapped this pic while we were down there for a photo shoot for flower stuff.

Sometimes I actually slur my words and feel light headed when I am here. The colors are stunning at every point during the year. This time i loved the fading colors, darker next to the ground where it is still wet, and lightening as they go up.

i never tire of this place, i feel alive there.
we went to vegas for a rugby tournament at the beginning of february, and stopped for a day of exploring on the way. Then- we went back the next weekend for some photo shoots for flower stuff. This is a mix of regular and phone pictures from the two weeks.
